Well that brings an end to our coverage from Selhurst Park. It has been a cracking night in south London, with United producing a comeback worthy of Sir Alex Ferguson's spell in charge. Hard on Palace though, who gave so much.

We're back tomorrow with live coverage from the Champions League. But until next time, goodnight.

Smalling headed wide wastefully a minute ago but he makes amends now by thrusting United back in the game. Valencia crosses and with United having an overload of bodies, the England defender heads across Hennessey and into the corner.

The Eagles are rising from the ashes again and their relegation lifeline has come in the form of a half-time lead against Manchester United.

Andros Townsend has got the goal to put Palace on course for their first ever league win over Jose Mourinho's side. The visitors have been woeful and have been unable to live with the intensity of their hosts.
